My first flight I was a baby, heading from the Philippines to the states. Second flight was a return to the Philippines and we crashed on landing.
surely there’s a rule against saying something like that and then nothing else?
In a thunderstorm, a Pan Am flight to Manila had trouble landing. One person died who didn't have his seat belt fastened. He landed on top of my sister, who was 4 at the time. She had nightmares about that for years. I was somehow strapped to the wall of the plane since I was just a baby. I was supposed to be in my mother's lap. The purse my mother held flew across the plane, so the family story was that that was the first time I cheated death.
Holy shit. Glad you all made it.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

And this suggests there are some other stories you are holding back on us.

Oops, wrong day.
No we have to keep bumping the thread until Ginny shares all her near-death experiences.
